“’Best of You’ is a song of resistance. It’s about the refusal to be taken advantage of by something that’s bigger than you, or someone you’re in love with. It’s the fight in the face of adversity. I didn’t really think of an interesting melody; I just wanted to scream the whole way through. And the first few times we rehearsed it, I thought, ‘There’s no way I’ll be able to play this live. There’s blood in my throat.’ But now it’s great, it’s a release. When you go out and sing words from the heart, you scream twice as hard.”
